Counteract Covert Conditioning
Giving up is easy, feeling guilty and unfulfilled is harder. When we start things as perfectionists there is often the expectation that all of the prep work we did will make our ideal clients jump at us and fill our program, or book out our calendar immediately. But we all know that’s not how that works. Something else happens, too. We remember how we felt when we were seen, successful, or unsuccessful as a child, whether that was a good or bad feeling. In this episode, I am discussing what to do when you figure out what conditioning you need to overcome in order to continue in your launch or even in your business as a whole.
